Born: September 25, 1963 in Tenafly, New Jersey, USA

When I told everybody I was doing Hercules (1997), they felt really sorry for me. They thought I was so down on my luck that I was having to do extra work on the TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995).

[2004] Maybe I was just born in the wrong era, man. I’m a bit of a throwback to the days of black-and-white movies. Those guys back then, they had a certain kind of directness about them. A lot of the screenplays, the plots were very simplistic – they gave rise to a type of anti-hero that maybe I suit better.

L.A. Confidential (1997) was written with me in mind, but Russell Crowe got the part. Go figure.

Married to: Dana Reeve (11 April 1992 – 10 October 2004) (his death) (1 child)

[on the reshoots of Superman II (1980) after changing directors] It was usually done whenever a set doubled or we had a problem with expensive actors being available. I remember we did many scenes from the Daily Planet, if not all of them, while we were doing Part One. So those were pretty much in the bank. Gene Hackman, to the extent that he was in Part Two, was also done while he was around for Part One. I don’t remember that he came back again.

[About Little Witches (1996)] “How did you know about ‘Little Witches’?? You’ve seen it? So you’ve seen my ass! Oh my God, I can’t believe this. I did that movie when I was 18. ‘Little Witches’ doesn’t count. It was my first movie and I had no clue what I was doing, I mean, my God, I worked in a coffee house while that film was being shot”.

In 1997, Persbrandt starred for the first time as the tough detective, Gunvald Larsson, the role that ultimately became his major break-through. “Beck” was not only a major hit in Sweden but in Germany as well – and now consists of 24 theatrical and television movies based on the characters created by authors Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöo.

[on why she wasn’t invited for a T.J. Hooker (1982) reunion]: They haven’t asked me. I don’t think they’ve asked [former co-star] Adrian Zmed, but I’m sure William Shatner is willing to do it. I can’t see why [he would] not… Maybe I’ll see the film when it comes out on DVD or something.

michaeldouglas.jpgMichael Douglas

Born: September 25, 1944 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA

[on his career and his favorite films] I always say you work as hard on your failures as your successes. I like my track record, I like my batting average. I got a real good batting average. A lot of movies. Not a lot of grand-slam home-runs, lot of singles, doubles, triples. Lot of hits, you know? Small but kind of ultimately worked out. Kind of fiduciary responsibilities and budgets. The ones that stick out are the ones nobody wanted to make, from Falling Down (1993) to Fatal Attraction (1987), things like that. Or ones that were so bizarre. The War of the Roses (1989), Wonder Boys (2000).

[on landing the role of Velma Kelly in Chicago (2002)] Did I want this role? That’s like saying did I want to wake up in the morning wanting to breathe!

I do think I’m lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.

I’ve learned that the movies [Star Wars] will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it’s going to be in 3D, then it’s going to be smellivision, then it’s going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they’ll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn … it’ll never end! I accepted that a long time ago.

Born: September 25, 1983 in Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA

When you think of the former high school football star, you think 6-foot-2, white, meathead as the model for that kind of character. Since I’m not 6-foot-2 or white, I just thought about what I could bring to it. I thought about Smash Williams from ‘Friday Night Lights,’ like the cocky quarterback, and played around with that. — on his character Troy in “Community”.
